When my husband and I moved to Philadelphia and they stayed in New York, we continued our campground reunions, and there was never a camping trip without a Judds singalong around the fire, under the starlit Pennsylvania sky.īoth couples have since divorced, and I have remarried - making sure to impress an appreciation of the Judds upon my new husband - but we all remain close and in touch. Soon we two couples became inseparable, taking camping trips together several times a summer.
I had to go to all the way to New York City to find my country people.
One night a Judds song came on, I forget which one, and one of my new friends began singing along.
There, I cultivated a new circle of friends, many of them also from Michigan.
